​Hotelchamp has partnered with OpenGDS to deliver an end-to-end booking experience that rivals the speed, intelligence, and sophistication of leading OTAs, powered by seamless connectivity and cutting-edge conversion capabilities.
​The collaboration brings together Hotelchamp’s high-performing Booking Engine and OpenGDS’ enterprise-grade connectivity platform. Designed to give hoteliers full control over the direct guest journey, the partnership offers a powerful blend of fast, on-brand user experiences and deep integration with channel managers, PMSs, and rate systems, giving hoteliers the tools they need to drive direct revenue with confidence.
“At OpenGDS, we believe reliable infrastructure is the silent partner of great guest experiences. While Hotelchamp drives powerful direct booking journeys on the front-end, we ensure that their platform is backed by high-integrity, real-time data flows, from dynamic rate and availability syncing to deep channel manager connectivity. This partnership combines UX excellence with enterprise-grade connectivity, giving hoteliers the tools to own the full booking lifecycle with confidence.”
- Nico van der Veen, CEO of OpenGDS.com Platform
Already live with shared clients, the integration is delivering exactly what hoteliers are asking for: speed, simplicity, and seamlessness, across both backend operations and guest-facing journeys.
“This partnership is a reflection of what we believe hotel technology should be: a perfect alignment of experience and infrastructure. With OpenGDS, we’re able to offer hoteliers not just a best-in-class Booking Engine, but the peace of mind that it’s powered by truly reliable, scalable connectivity. Together, we’re creating a foundation that helps hotels move faster, serve their guests better, and own more of their direct revenue. It’s about giving hoteliers the tools and the control to compete with the OTAs on the hotel’s terms.”
- Kristian Valk, CEO & Founder of Hotelchamp
The Booking Engine is the latest evolution in Hotelchamp’s direct booking suite, built to give hoteliers an OTA app-like experience on their own domain, with zero loading time, intuitive mobile navigation, and best-in-class conversion capabilities. Combined with OpenGDS’s “plug & book” API and real-time syncing across 150+ PMS and channel managers, the solution enables hotels to offer the ease of an OTA with the ownership of a direct booking.
This partnership reflects Hotelchamp and OpenGDS’ shared vision of what the future of direct booking should look like: fast, seamless, and wholly owned by the hotel.
“It’s rare to find a partner like OpenGDS. Their technology is robust, scalable, and remarkably reliable, essential for hotel connectivity. From day one, our integration has been stable across scores of hotels, and their API stands out as one of the most advanced in the industry. Real-time diagnostics, detailed logs, and powerful filtering provide our developers with the tools and visibility they need to move quickly and confidently.
Beyond the technology, OpenGDS has become a true strategic partner. Their team is proactive, deeply knowledgeable, and always responsive. With clear documentation and in-product guidance, they’ve made implementation and scaling refreshingly straightforward.”
- Luke Terheyden-Keighley, Head of Product at Hotelchamp
Together, they empower hoteliers to compete head-on with OTAs and reclaim control over the entire booking journey.
